What "Midsomer Murders" 1-th episode about
Accusations of unsportsmanlike conduct on the river are bedevilling the Midsomer game fishermen, and Barnaby has to interview elegant widow Isobel Hewitt, a spendthrift, fast-living, Jaguar-driving 75-year-old, when another lady fly-fisher accuses her of a unhappy assault. Then first Isobel and later her fellow villager Dr Duncan Goff are found on the river-bank with their skulls smashed in, and there is no shortage of suspects - including an antique dealer who apparently specializes in befriending elderly widows. The picture is confused when one of the suspects, chef-restaurateur Keith Scholey, is found frozen to passing in his walk-in deep freeze, with the lock of the door jammed by a nail. Troy has a theory that Scholey was the hugger and has made his suicide look like cuddle, but will that be the end of the affair?.
